1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: say it like that is I have been that guy. 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: And I would fail time and time and time again. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum, 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: Jake's mintschew.

I find it to be amazing, 23 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and there are a million different kinds of courage. It's 24 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Monday. Today, I'll read you a medal 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: of honor, citation of one of our heroes. And how 26 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: many of these have I read for you over the time, 27 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: every Monday. Medal of Honor Monday? And you hear these 28 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: stories of manning a machine gun nest calling all his 29 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: guys away while he sits there, and most people down. 30 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Diving on a grenade. That's a common one, isn't it. 31 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: Diving on a grenade. Enemy throws a grenade at your buddies, 32 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: or as sometimes happened, you were going to throw one 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: and dropped it. No matter what happened, you see a 34 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: grenade and in an instant you dive on it. You 35 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: make that decision. Boom, instant, less than a second, grenades 36 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: on the ground. I'm on it. That is absurd levels 37 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: of courage. But it's also a decision you made in 38 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: an instant. What's funny is you talk to the guys 39 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: who really do go through horrible things in combat, and 40 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: he rose. When you have a chance to talk to heroes, 41 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: and I've been blessed to talk to a bunch of 42 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: them so often, what they say is, I wasn't really 43 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: thinking about the danger at the time. I didn't have 44 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: time to think about it. I was mad, I was this, 45 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: I was I was sad, I was whatever. But they 46 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: weren't dwelling on the danger at the time. Understandable, right, 47 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: And that's that's courage. But there's a different kind of 48 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: courage that I've always found to be just jaw dropping, 49 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: and that is the I've got time to think about 50 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: it courage, lots of time, and I do it anyway. 51 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: That's okay. I know three days from now, I'm going 52 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to be with my friends and somebody's going to pull 53 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: the pit on the grenade and throw it on the ground, 54 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: and I have got to get ready to jump on it. 55 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: How many sleepless nights are you gonna have? How much 56 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: sleep are you gonna have period between when you find 57 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: that out and when that grenade gets thrown in front 58 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: of your buddies. It's the mind that gets you in 59 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: the end, always, doesn't it. It's your imagination that gets you. 60 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Why do you think so many to go off on 61 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: a brief side note here, why do you think so 62 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: many scary movies and scary shows end up being duds 63 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: in the end. I'll tell you why. Because so many 64 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: scary movies, scary TV shows, scary books, they rely on 65 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: mystery in the beginning. Oooh, there's something. There's something in 66 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the forest eating kids at night. Whoa, oh man, who 67 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: did you hear this? Did you hear that sound that 68 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: sounds scary? Oh? Man, oh, I think I saw a 69 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: flash of something. It's scary. And what's happening is your 70 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: mind is taking the little bits of information you've been given, 71 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: and it's working overtime and creating a monster specifically tailored 72 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: for your fears. Then when the movie, book, or television 73 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: show has to actually produce what is out there, it's 74 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: always a disappointment of the time. Why because they can't 75 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: ever produce something specifically tailored to each and every mind 76 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: out there. Your fears are your fears, mine or my own. 77 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: The human mind, when it deals with fear, is a 78 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: powerful thing. Now, how much time have you spent on 79 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: the ocean. That's exactly right, Chris, producer Chris said, like 80 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: the show Lost. You may remember the show Lost, I'm 81 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna go off on it. Remember part of the thing 82 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: was there was this mysterious thing eating people, killing people 83 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: on the island, and it was really creepy. For about 84 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: a season, nobody knew what was going on. Oh it's wild, 85 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: And it turned out it was some kind of like 86 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: underground smoke monster thing, and universally everybody looked around and said, well, 87 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: that sucks. Anyway, the ocean, it's the last time you 88 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: were on the ocean, looked down at the water, looked 89 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: out at the horizon. I know you do what I 90 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: do when you're on the ocean. I know you look down, 91 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: you look at the water, and and I love the ocean. 92 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: You know, I swim in It'll dive off the boats. 93 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: I've been snorkeland, scuba dive, and I just lived in 94 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: the watermost of my life. So I'm not one of 95 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: these people. You don't thinking there's jaws around every corner. 96 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: But I look down at that water and I wonder 97 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: what's under there right now? I look out at the 98 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: horizon and I think, what's out there? How far could 99 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: I go? The Age of exploration is a fascinating thing. 100 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I would encourage you, and I may start doing I 101 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: may do a bunch of these over the next month 102 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: or two, just because somebody of these guys are awesome. 103 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: I would encourage you to dig into as many of 104 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: these guys as you can imagine, because what's really unknown 105 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: about the world today. I know, I know what you're 106 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna say, Oh, there are depths of the ocean. We 107 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: do know. I get that, I get that there are unknowns, 108 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: but in general, you know the world today, geez, we're 109 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: in outer space. It would take you right now a 110 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: grand total of about five to ten seconds to pull 111 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: up an image of the entire world on your phone. 112 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Now you and I dismissed that. Well, yeah, of course, 113 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 1: there was a long, long, long time in human history. 114 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and call it, oh, about five hundred 115 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: years ago, which is not that long in the grand 116 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: scheme of things. About five hundred years ago, they didn't 117 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: know what was out there anywhere. You knew what you 118 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: would explored. And even then you have people like Marco 119 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: Polo who had gone exploring, you know, exploring back to 120 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the Mongolian Empire, and he brings back all these stories 121 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: and such. So imagine this. Imagine heading out into a 122 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: wilderness area where you knew nothing, or you knew one 123 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: report from one guy. You don't know how much he embellished, 124 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: you don't know how much he lied, you don't know anything. 125 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: The age of exploration blows me away because they were 126 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: constantly venturing out on purpose two places they knew nothing about, 127 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: with an excellent chance of not coming back. That is astounding, 128 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: astounding levels of bravery. And you know what, To be honest, 129 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: this is going to sound like I'm the biggest America 130 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: homer in the world. I think Christopher Columbus what he 131 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: did surpass as them all because of what he did, 132 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: because of well, i'll explain it to you. First of all, 133 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: let's go back to Christopher Columbus. Beginning of Christopher Columbus. 134 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: He was born. A lot of people say Christopher Columbus 135 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: was Italian. It's not really true. Christopher Columbus was born 136 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: in Genoa. Now you you're gonna say, well, yeah, Italy, 137 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Well no, not at this point in time when he's born. 138 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: We're talking fourteen hundreds. At this point in time, Genoa 139 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: was a city state. City states were very very common 140 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: back then. They would not have considered themselves Italian at all. 141 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: They would have called themselves genuine, and Genoa had a 142 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: pretty cool history. Hang on, home title lock is not 143 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: an option anymore. This home title theft that is sweeping 144 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: this country.

End of story. That's who 160 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: they are at this point in time, they may still 161 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: be that. I don't know. I don't I don't do 162 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: current events, Chris. But if you look at Genoa, you 163 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: need to picture the north west corner of Italy, right 164 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: where it starts to curve and starts to blend in 165 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: all those other countries that don't matter as much. I'm 166 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: just kidding, But right where it starts to curve, there's 167 00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: Genoa right there on the water, and most much of 168 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: human history is built around water of some kind. One 169 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: of the fascinating things on our trip to Europe we 170 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: took the only time I've ever been, probably the only 171 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: time I ever will go, Chris at this point in time. 172 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: But well, the fascinating things was how all the cities 173 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: we came across are built on the ocean or a river, 174 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: all of them. It was amazing. It's just how you 175 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: did things. You and I. We take our access to 176 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: clean water for granted, way too much. I know I do. 177 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure you do too. Hey, I'm not going to 178 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: go off on that for the moment. Genoa is a 179 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: trading place. It's a place of ships. They send things 180 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: to and fro. They're not in the fourteen hundreds what 181 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: they once were. Other countries are beginning to rise, figuring 182 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: out that while this ocean trade thing might actually catch on, 183 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: and they're rising in Jennoas. I don't want to say crumbling, 184 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: but they're a shell of what they were. There was 185 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: a time when Genoa was megapowerful. Columbus grows up as 186 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: many young, genuine, genuine, genuine Jenwinese, genuine, who knows Chris, 187 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: as many young dudes in this area do on the water. 188 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus is on the water at the age of 189 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: ten and will remain on the water the rest of 190 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: his life. That's who he was. Now, let me clarify something, 191 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: because you have to say this these days, I'm gonna 192 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: have somebody email me and say this to me, Jesse, 193 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: didn't you know they were slave traders? Don't write me 194 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: that email. Let me be clear about something I needy 195 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: to hear me here. I don't care. I don't care 196 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: about things they screwed up five hundred years ago. It 197 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: didn't happen to you. I didn't do it. You didn't 198 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: do it. I don't care. Stop this absurd ruining of 199 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: history by judging them because of today's standards. We're gonna 200 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: talk some slavery todays. It's going to come into play 201 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: here in a minute. Don't write me your emails yelling 202 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: at me about it. I know slavery is barbaric. I know. 203 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: It's also the history of the world still going on today, 204 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: by the way, not that you know it, but still 205 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: going on in parts of the world today. Be glad 206 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: it's not going on here. Yes, there were slave traders. 207 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: Columbus grows up on the water. Columbus becomes a bit 208 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: of a military man. And because you can't ever read 209 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: anything positive about Columbus anymore in this broken society, let's 210 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: keep in mind dude was kind of a war hero. 211 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: Dude got blasted out of the water on a naval 212 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: ship lands in the middle of the ocean, six miles 213 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: from land, and he's wounded and swims cleared ashore and 214 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: makes it. When's the last time you tried to swim 215 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: half a mile? I was just in the water when 216 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: I took that vacation to Florida about a month ago. 217 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: I am a strong swimmer. It's because I'm so long. 218 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure I grew up in the water. I'm six 219 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: eight to have big hands, big feet. I just I 220 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: can swim. I was in the water there a couple 221 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: of times, and there were a couple of times of man, 222 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:56,239 Speaker 1: the ocean will kill you easily, easily, six miles wounded 223 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: hanging onto a piece of scrapwood is impressive. This young 224 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: genuine though, ends up in Portugal and he kind of 225 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: likes it. And if you are a young man and 226 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: you view your life as gonna be a life on 227 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: the ocean, you really did pretty well for yourself ending 228 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: up in Portugal. Now, let's dwell on this for just 229 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: a moment. It's funny when we talk about this point 230 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: in history because so many of the countries we talk 231 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: about still exist today. Well, Portugal, when's the last time 232 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: you even mentioned the name Portugal about anything. I'm not 233 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: trying to insult Portuguese people at all. The chicks are 234 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: spoken hot. So I love Portugal. But when's the last 235 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: time you even thought about Portugal? Never? It never comes up. 236 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: That is stunning when you consider what a fall from 237 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: grace that is, because that this point in time, Portugal 238 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: was a big big deal, a very very very big deal. 239 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: And why were they a big deal? Well, they chose 240 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: to invest in the right things. They figured out very 241 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: early on. We're portabal, we're portable, we're Portugal, we're on 242 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: the water. I think shipping's gonna turn out. Well, let's 243 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: do a lot of that. And they began to explore, 244 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: and specifically they began to explore West Africa. Portugal was 245 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: phenomenal at this. They would explore areas of West Africa, 246 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: making their way south, but setting up shop every place 247 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: they landed that turned out to be good. Oh, this 248 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: area looks not too bad. Oh, we get along with 249 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: the natives here, all this or that, Let's build a fort. 250 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: And they would build these areas and colonize West Africa 251 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: and build these forts, and they would begin to trade 252 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: a lot, yes, in slaves too, a lot. It's really 253 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: funny at it, Well, it's not really funny if you 254 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: were one of them. At this point in time, through 255 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: much of Europe, it was illegal to have a slave, 256 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: if it was a Christian, if it wasn't. Sure, not 257 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: the most biblical concept I've ever heard in my life, 258 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: But who among us doesn't fail at that. But Portugal's 259 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: goal right now, and this is going to be a 260 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: big part of our story. This is the whole point 261 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: of our story. Portugal's goal right now is to get 262 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: to the east. They need a trade route to the east, 263 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: places like India, where spices are everything. We can never 264 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: understand the importance of spice trade back then, because you 265 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: and I when we want spices, we walk four feet 266 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: to the left and open up the spice cupboard in 267 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: our house, and we have what ten twenty forty different 268 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: jars of spices, of everything you'd ever want. It's absurd, right, 269 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: what don't you have? You want cinnamon, You go grab 270 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: the cinnamon and put cinnamon in something. You want cinnamon 271 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: back then a little harder to come by. You want 272 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: black pepper back then, and everybody wanted black pepper back then, 273 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: harder to come by. You have got to get east 274 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: for it. Even if you don't like the taste, everyone 275 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: else does. It was like sitting quite literally on a 276 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: pot of gold if you were sitting on spices. The 277 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: trade was that big, and Portugal need it a good 278 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: way to get east. So they were working their way 279 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: down South West Africa to try to get around it 280 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: and get over and get a trade route to the 281 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: east so they could get spices and get them back. Understandable, 282 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: and this is the era. Christopher Columbus comes up in 283 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Chilling in Portugal, learning about what to do, what not 284 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: to do on the water, learning how to fight, Columbus 285 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: starts to get known around town with the aristocracy hang on. 286 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: One in three adults has pre diabetes one in three. 287 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: That means it could be you, your football buddy, your 288 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: football buddy, or you your best man, your worst man. 289 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: You you're a dog walker, You're a cat jugger. While 290 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: one in three adults has pre diabetes. With early diagnosis, 291 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at 292 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: do I have pre diabetes dot org? That's do I 293 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: have pre diabetes dot org? Wait did they just say 294 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three 295 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: point three three three percent of adults. That means it 296 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: could be me my boss or my boss's boss, or 297 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's seven 298 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait, 299 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol, 300 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: or my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take the 301 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org? 302 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the ad Council and it's pre 303 00:22:45,040 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: diabetes Awareness partners. Portugal wants to get to the east. 304 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: They are not alone in this. Other countries are rising, 305 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: other countries are getting very powerful, and they want to 306 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: get in the game. They're already in the game. They 307 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: want to win the game. Now this is a race. 308 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: We're in a race now to get east, to get 309 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: a great route east. First, it's important to be first. 310 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: It's not the end of the world. You know you're 311 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: going to get something if you come in second. But boy, 312 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: first is you've got the forts, You've got a colony, 313 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: you've claimed. If the other guy wants that, he has 314 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: to go to war with you for it. It's a 315 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: big deal to get there and slam down your Portuguese 316 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: or Spanish or French flag and say this is ours 317 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: made it. If you want anything from here, we'll have 318 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: to charge you for it. It's a big deal. Plus, 319 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: there's this feeling now. But in this time, I believe this. 320 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't know this is true, but I believe that 321 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: there are certain trends in every period of time. I 322 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: personally believe they're God given. But he didn't tell me that. 323 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: But I believe there are trends like worldwide in certain 324 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: periods of time where you see the world is doing 325 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: certain things. The world itself seems to be focused on this, 326 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: They're focused on that. And this point in time, there 327 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: was a real feeling with these people not only to 328 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: pursue riches, and that was a big part of it. 329 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, but there was a 330 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: big feeling, a big need out there to spread the gospel, 331 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: to go talk about God everywhere, and so that played 332 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: a big role in it, too. Did a bunch of 333 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: people who just wanted gold use the God excuse Oh gosh, yes, yeah, 334 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: don't be naive, of course, but you also don't have 335 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: to be king cynic. I mean, who's a bigger cynic 336 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: than me? The truth is, though, there were a lot 337 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: of people who really wanted to go spread the gospel, 338 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: share the good news. So that was a big thing 339 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: in nations seeking approval for themselves from the pope and 340 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: from God himself. Nations really really wanted those notches on 341 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: the belt. Hey, Pope, I'd like a guaranteed get into 342 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: Heaven card if you don't mind, maybe you haven't heard. 343 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: I just took an entire country and made them all Christians. Boom. 344 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we killed anyone who didn't convert, But 345 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: that's different. Whatever you get it, Pope, it mattered. It 346 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 1: was a big motivation. Christopher Columbus. I don't want to 347 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: give him all the credit for having this idea, but 348 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: there was an idea out there. He did not come 349 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: up with it. There was an idea out there that 350 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: you could sail west instead of clear down around Africa, 351 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: because that was a tough, tough, grueling journey clear down 352 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: around Africa around the Cape. And then you got to say, 353 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean look at that. Pull up a map and 354 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: look at that route from Portugal. From Portugal down around 355 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: the southern tip of Africa, clear over to India, and 356 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: then go further east in India too. Just do that 357 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: route in a sail in a sailboat. So there was 358 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: a way of thinking out there that you could sail 359 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: west and get there faster. Do not listen to these 360 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: idiots today who say they all thought the world was 361 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: flat and that you were going to fall off the edge. 362 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: That is not what they thought. Yeah, were there some 363 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: people out there who thought that, Yes, but they had 364 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: they knew enough by now to know the earth was round. 365 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: How many ancient peoples have we talked about that had 366 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: figured things out from the stars and the moon and others. 367 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: They knew the earth was round. He knew that. But 368 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: what is truly truly amazing? They didn't have any idea 369 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: how big the world was. Isn't that weird to you 370 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: and I? And then here's what's really gonna blow your 371 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: mind when you think about it. If weird is a 372 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,199 Speaker 1: way of saying uncommon, then you and I are the 373 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: weird ones because we know the world was one gigantic 374 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: mystery for most of history. They had no idea how 375 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: big the world was. They didn't know. And the thinking 376 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: of let's head west to find Asia. I mean, it 377 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: got some traction, some people liked it, but for the 378 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: most part, who's going to risk it when you don't 379 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: have any idea? Who is going to risk it? And 380 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: you understand that even these major trading ships, these major 381 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: major people that they knew everything there was to know 382 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: at the time about shipping. Most of the time when 383 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: they were in the ocean, they were within sight of land. 384 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: You had to be. There was no GPS, there's no coastguard, 385 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: there's storms on the horizon. Let me pull out my 386 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: weather app it looks like it's going to intersect with 387 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: us in a week. No, no, oh, there's none of that. 388 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: You get hit by one, you're dead. You don't point 389 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: your ship into the ocean, into the open ocean. If 390 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: you do, you have a specific place you're going, You 391 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: know how long it's gonna take you to get there. 392 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: You know exactly how much food you're going to need, 393 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: you know exactly how much water you're gonna need. You 394 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: know you need to spare this, you need you know 395 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: you need to spare that. If you do it, you 396 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: pucker up, you do it, and you know, okay, but 397 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: it's okay, we got all right. We'll be there in 398 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 1: thirty two days, all right, if the wind's out with us, 399 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: maybe it'll take us thirty eight days. Let's take forty 400 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: five days. It supplies. We're okay. But you never, ever, ever, 401 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: under any circumstances, point your ship to the open ocean 402 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: and just go without any idea at all, and I 403 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: I mean zero of when you're going to see land again. 404 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: That is such an absurd level of suicidal bravery. I 405 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: cannot even put it into words. No coastguard, no GPS, 406 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: no telephone, no idea when you'll hit land again. And 407 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: keep in mind, if you get out on that open 408 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: ocean and you don't reach land, you die ugly. It's 409 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: one thing to die. Aren't we all a little worried 410 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: about what way we're gonna die? Though? It isn't it 411 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: in everybody's mind on some level when you think about it. 412 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: You see somebody die in some horrific way, and you 413 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: say to yourself, Oh, man, I hope that's not me. 414 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: Oh but I'm a sleep one day, you know, all 415 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: of us hope for that you have, or die of thirst. 416 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: You ever seen somebody dying of thirst? It's long and 417 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: it's slow, and it's brutal. Or starvation body starts eating itself. 418 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: Ever see somebody dying of starvation. That's what you're risking 419 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: when you're going out in the middle of the ocean, 420 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: And that might be the more pleasant one. Let's talk 421 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: about the fact you're out there in the middle of 422 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: the ocean and a storm comes and your ship goes down. 423 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: Remember that ocean we talked about. You're looking underneath, wondering 424 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: what's there now. You're clinging to a piece of wood 425 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of the Atlantic at midnight with the 426 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: waves rushing over your head? What's going through your head then? 427 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: And these guys would have known that. But Columbus subscribes 428 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: to this idea that I can get to Asia. I 429 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: can get there quicker and more efficiently if I head west. 430 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: Columbus is known and the fancy circles by now, mainly 431 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: thanks to his wife. He married a woman who was connected. 432 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: Does not appear to be a marriage of convenience, though, 433 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean they by all appearances, they really genuinely liked 434 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: each other. Hiyah, Oh God anad Emily side on me, 435 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, don't listening to the Jesse Kelly show. Wake 436 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: up and text, Text and eat, Text and catch the bus, 437 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: Text and miss your stop.

But when you get behind the wheel, give 445 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: your phone to a passenger put it in the glove box. 446 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: Just don't text and drive. Visit stop texts stoprex dot org. 447 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: A public service announcement brought to you by the National 448 00:33:42,920 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the AD Council. Columbus is known, 449 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: known enough to get audiences with very very powerful people 450 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: when he meets them or when he wants to. He's 451 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: known to be experienced on the ocean. He's known to 452 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: be real ambitious, a bit ambitious, and a bit too 453 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: aggressive for many people's tastes. Now I'm a Christopher Columbus fan. 454 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep talking about the bravery too, but let's 455 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: focus on what happens next. For a reason, Christopher Columbus 456 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: finally gets a meeting with the Portuguese people call them 457 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: the Shots, the Royalty. This is his business pitch meeting. 458 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 1: This is his here's why I need you to give 459 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: me ship and men to go west meeting. And Christopher 460 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: Columbus blows it. Not because he was unprepared, he was 461 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: very prepared, not because he wasn't experienced, not because of 462 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: any of that. He blows it because Christopher Columbus, consistently, 463 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: it appears, throughout his life, failed to read the room, 464 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: reading the room. It is everything. I teach it to 465 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: my sons. You should teach it to your kids. There 466 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: is a time and a place for everything. When you 467 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: stand in front of the royalty to make your pitch, 468 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: probably not the best time to stand there and say 469 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread came off way 470 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: too arrogant, Poor Pagal, this is the ultimate shaft. Portugal 471 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: tells him, no, not interested, We already have our route 472 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: to the east. Thanks, but no thanks, And then they 473 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: start looking into it themselves. Oh no, that's a terrible idea. Anyways, 474 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: we should check out the going west thing now that 475 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: he's gone. Columbus, though to his credit, not a man 476 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: to be dissuaded, he leaves Portugal, he goes, He travels. 477 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: People don't realize this. Columbus asked England, France, Genoa, Spain. 478 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: He's asking all these people for help and they're all 479 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: telling him no. Now, Spain told him no, but it 480 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: was more of a not yet. He keeps it up, 481 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: and keeps it up, and keeps it up. And finally Spain, 482 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: knowing they needed to keep up with Portugal. That's the 483 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: only reason they agreed to do all this. Spain agrees 484 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: to give Columbus. What's he want? Now? Why did it 485 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: take so long? Well, like I said, Columbus, all I 486 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: can go by is what they say, what they wrote 487 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: about him, And there's so much written about the dude. 488 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: But he really comes huff like a guy who would 489 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: be a bit much to be around. I don't know 490 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,240 Speaker 1: that it would have been fun to have cocktails with Columbus. 491 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: He seems to be one of those guys who manages 492 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: to work into a conversation in the first five minutes. 493 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: How much money he makes, what kind of car he drives, 494 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: how many houses he has hoving to? I mean it, 495 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: I talk I talked to myself for a living, and 496 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: I don't talk about myself as much as Christopher Columbus 497 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: appeared too. He's just one of those guys. And tell 498 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 1: me if you've ever known somebody like this before, A 499 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: little what's a great way to put this, A little 500 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: rabbie always asking for the moon at all times? You 501 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: know this guy, right, there's a guy like this in 502 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: your office or in your industry. He's the one in 503 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: there gets a raise, gets the big raise other people wanted. 504 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: There's a little jealousy, and he goes right back in 505 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 1: the boss's office the next month and asks for another raise. 506 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good employee, it's nice to have 507 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: him around. It's just, oh, he's just a little it's 508 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: just a little much. Hey do you want to invest 509 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: in this property? Hey you got an extra ten grand? 510 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: Hey you know what, I feel like the company should 511 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 1: pay for my car. You know this guy, Well, the 512 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: first time he approaches Spain, Columbus asks for the most 513 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: over the top absurd things for his journey you can imagine, 514 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: including that he owns one eighth of everything they find 515 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: that he is aimed, I'm not making this up, Admiral 516 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: of the Ocean. And then there was more. It was 517 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: just essentially, no, I'm essentially going to become a country 518 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: to myself whenever we do this. Spain said no initially. 519 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: Then Spain, knowing they had to keep up with Portugal, 520 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: goes back and they agree to it, and they give 521 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: him the moon. Kind of here's what's funny about this. 522 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus crossed the ocean initially with three ships. You 523 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: know it, Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria. You know the name 524 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: of the ships, everyone knows the story. Talk about giving 525 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: somebody the bare minimum because you don't think he's going 526 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 1: to come back. Just to put this in a frame 527 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: of reference here, and obviously I'm probably gonna have to 528 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: take two or three shows to do Columbus. I'll probably 529 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: I walt, if you hang it, I'll probably do the 530 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: second one tomorrow. Don't worry. But his second voyage they 531 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: gave him seventeen that's how you cross the ocean.

He gets two of them on 552 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: his own. He finds these very very well thought of navigators, 553 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: the Pinion Zoon brothers. They help him get a crew 554 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,879 Speaker 1: for two of them. His Santa Mario was the biggest ship. 555 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: That was his flagship. Remember I said there were three 556 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: ships and he only got two of them voluntarily. Well, 557 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: this is the era of monarchs, so on some level, 558 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,839 Speaker 1: when King and Queen are asking, at some point they're 559 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: gonna stop asking, and there's gonna be a lot of telling. 560 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: You see the Pinta, Then this will come up later. 561 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 1: The Pinta didn't really want to be there, and the 562 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: King and Queen said, oh, hey, guess where you're going. Now, 563 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:41,959 Speaker 1: imagine how much does that suck? Oh? Where ship's being 564 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: forced into this?

What look, and I get that the 570 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: holsters not the sexy part of carrying firearms. All right. 571 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: You want to talk about your weapon and your ammunition. 572 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 1: You want to talk about your safety training.

I'm not discounting that, but I've known so 577 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: many people who do all those things. They take all 578 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: the necessary steps, and then they carry with a holster 579 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: they bought from a big box hunting store that was 580 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: made a thousand at a time.
